How do you load your muzzleloader?

Powder-Patch-Ball has worked for me

i set the butt on my left foot, crook my left arm to cradle the barrel so it leans away from me and load with my right hand.
i hate fumunda on the butt plate or scratches so it goes on top of my left foot.

This is exactly how I do it on the range and in the field.

Fumunda is not a term I heard while in the army in the 60's.

I always am amused at military communication jargon from WW-2 , as well. I had a friend I made at the Spring National M/L shoot about 1987. He was on a PT boat in the Pacific , that went out at times , in the same squadron as John F. Kennedy. My friend said the Japanese were very good at sending bogus messages , and disrupting military Naval communications . To confuse the Japanese communications , my friend said US Naval operators used American slang as a signal that a message really came from an American source. One of the slang terms used back then , was to make a true comm. statement , and to follow it with , "And that's No $hit". Guess the enemy had no translation for the term.

Me neither from the seventies, eighties or nineties. Probably some British version of FUBAR.

Funny ... I'm so used to loading while standing I had to kind of sit here and think to myself ..." How do i do that ? " LOL ! Just becomes second nature I guess . I remember going to Bill Moose range the first time in the early 90s and everyone had all this manure just spread around them to load and clean their rifles , I just brought the rifle, horn and shootin bag . Didn't know to bring a large tool box or tackle box ! LOL ! All in what you get used to I guess . just an observation ..... Take care. Wow ! Not allowed to say $#it or [email protected] on here . Getting as bad as FB ....

Use the German word: Scheisse. You can even say ficken here then. Oh, and if you like ASCI art, you can do things like this: (.Y.)

This is the most accurate way to test the rifle and a load...for me! With two herniated disc in my lower back from jumping outa airplanes....I lean up against the bench or sit on the tailgate of my truck. At 83...I do quite well!
